Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

On the other hand, as a member of the royal family, old King Caesar still hopes that the little princess can receive systematic dueling training and become a powerful duelist.

I am old, and no matter how much I dote on Nova, I can't protect her for her whole life.

It has nothing to do with the status and prosperity of the Caesar family. It is just for the little princess's own safety. Having strong dueling skills as a support will also be an insurance for Nova's future life.

"The little princess is still young, and has never left my protective wings. With her willful character, she will definitely encounter many unpleasant things in the academy. I hope that you, the Royal Knight, will take good care of her. This is not only an order from the king, but also a request from a father."

"Your Majesty..."

To Aisha, the tone of old King Caesar sounded more like a father's kindness than a king's majesty.

As expected, all parents in the world deeply love their daughters, even the powerful king is an exception. People like Lei Gangset are a minority among the minority.

"I understand, Your Majesty!" Aisha placed one hand on her chest and performed the knight's etiquette she remembered.

"The mission to protect Her Highness Nova in the academy will be taken over by me, the Royal Knight Aisha Carlos."

Yilin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Ai, you look pretty good. You just became a royal knight, but you already have the feeling of a knight. A knight protecting a princess, that's a bit romantic... Oh, wait, that doesn't seem right!"

Yilin, who originally thought of the word "romance" in her mind, just thought it was a fun joke.

After all, even if Aisha is a knight, she is just a girl. The friendship between girls is very pure.

But Yilin thought again, the little princess Nova seemed to know about You Ling's existence. And like herself, she was saved by You Ling in the dangerous dark game where her life was hanging by a thread.

Whether this friendship is truly "pure" is still very much up for debate. I can't be as naive as Xiao Ai.

"Great, Aisha, I knew you would agree!"

After seeing Aisha agreed, the little princess Nova, who was forced to wait behind the hall, could not contain her inner excitement and rushed out, hugging Aisha's slender waist tightly.

"From now on, we can go to school together, summon cute monsters together, and have fun duels together. It makes me happy just thinking about it!"

"That's right, Your Highness Nova."

Aisha couldn't help but rub the soft golden hair on Nova's head. She always felt that this little princess who was rumored to be very willful was actually not willful at all, but had a well-behaved personality.

"Oh, and Yu Ling too."

With her cheek pressed against Aisha's smooth chest, the little princess stared at the thousand-year-old building blocks with her golden eyes.

"In the future, please take care of me, Yu Ling. Hehe, this feeling is more like friends than a knight and a princess!"

"It's not 'like a friend', it's 'just a friend', Nova-sama."

Perhaps for the little princess who has lived in the palace for many years, the word "friend" has become a kind of unattainable luxury. Thinking of this, Aixia rubbed the little princess's head with heartache.

"Let us be good friends for life, Your Highness Nova."

"That won't work. How can Aisha and I be good friends for life? It's absolutely impossible!"

"Oh? No way?"

Aisha was confused. She never expected that her good intentions would be rejected so thoroughly by Nova.

It was simply like she was being overly sentimental. Even though the little princess still looked at her with pure innocence, Aisha blushed with embarrassment.

"Can't we be good friends for life, Nova-sama? Am I marrying above my station?"

"You're not marrying above your station, Aisha. You're my knight! From the book that Sally (the head maid) showed me, knights and princesses always get married and have children."

The little princess Nova had a serious expression on her face, and she didn't look like she was joking at all.

So, is it really okay not to get rid of the head maid who always imparts strange knowledge to the little princess?

"No, no, no, Your Highness Nova, are you mistaken?"

Aisha shook her head desperately, and her cheeks became even redder.

"Even if I'm Her Highness Nova's knight, getting married is a bit unreasonable... Besides, giving birth to a love child is absolutely impossible!!"

"Is there anything unreasonable or impossible?"

Nova pouted in dissatisfaction and pressed her palm on Aisha's flat chest.

"Aisha, you're not a boy, you're just a cute looking one."

It seems that this little princess has completely misunderstood from the very beginning.

Just as Yilin worried, there was no trace of "purity" in this friendship.

Chapter 248: The End of the Royal Capital

"(╬￣皿￣)=○It's all your fault, Mr. Yu Ling!"

It was extremely rare for Aisha to blame You Ling for his behavior.

"Sorry, sorry. It's really my fault."

Moreover, You Ling himself honestly admitted his mistake and stood firm to accept the scolding.

The reason why the little princess Nova always thought Aisha was a boy.

It was because You Ling claimed that he was another personality split from Aisha during the body swap, which fooled the little princess.

So much so that after combining the strange XP instilled by the head maid, the little princess seemed to have firmly established in her heart that Aisha was a cute boy.

Even when introducing Aisha to the second prince Dehao Caesar, Nova seriously stated this setting as a fact.

You Ling comforted him, "But there's nothing to worry about. Nova will understand sooner or later. Gender is something that will become clear after being together for a long time! Aisha, can you really have a gender change?"

"(╯°Д°)╯ I didn't even want it to wrap around me!"

After the ceremony of enthroning the Royal Dueling Knights was over, King Caesar also praised other families and rewarded those with particularly outstanding performances.

The Austin family received the most rewards.

The heroes' families not only saved countless lives from the fire after the mansion was bombed with their heroic spirit, but also fought against the dark phantoms together with the Royal Knights in a duel.

Although they didn't rise to the top in one step like the Carlos family, the Austin family also became famous in the Kingdom of Livolden. Out of respect for the hero who saved countless lives in the capital, the Austin family will surely develop smoothly in the future.

As for the outcome of the Set family's treatment, it was probably what all the nobles present were most concerned about and most conflicted about.

Kemaset, who shot down the Imperial battleship together with Aisha and faced the Chaos Phantom Duel together, is undoubtedly the second greatest contributor to the Royal Capital Incident.

But another point that cannot be ignored, or almost the key reason that triggered the disaster of the change in the royal capital, was the rebellion of Lei Gang Set, the current head of the Set family.

If Lei Gangset had not colluded with foreign enemies and worked hand in hand with the Slynt family, the capital of Livolden would not have suffered such a huge loss without any preparation.

If we really had to put these two things on a scale, the Set family's merits would not outweigh their faults. No matter how hard Kema fought, he could not erase the stain that the head of the Set family was the culprit of the incident.

"Your Majesty, the Set family is willing to accept any punishment."

He had already made this realization. After Lei Gangset's death, even if Kema was not yet an adult, he had to inherit the position of head of the family.

What Kema shoulders now is not only the family's former glory, but also the filth that the family must face.

"It's a punishment. Sigh..."

The elderly King Caesar sighed heavily, his eyes filled with memories.

"When I was young, I was a close friend of your father. Although my thoughts were sometimes extreme, I have to say that Lei Gang also cared about Liwarden in his own way."

"His Majesty."

This was not surprising to Kema. If the king had a bad relationship with Leigang, he would not have personally awarded Leigang Set such an honorary title as "National Lion".

"However, as he grew older, Lei Gang's thoughts became more and more extreme. As a result, he made one wrong step and then another. My good friend, who once worked hard for the country, was eventually swallowed up by the darkness of desire. I am also very heartbroken."

After another brief silence, old King Caesar's eyes turned back to Kema in front of him.

"Like father, like son. Kema, the courage and strength you showed in this incident in the capital even surpassed your father's. And you have an even more valuable quality, which is your faith that will not be shaken by darkness."

Every time the old King Caesar walked out of the memories and looked directly at the young people, it was as if he was looking at the future of the country.

"I declare that with regard to the Set family, nothing will be done. Keep it as it is. I hope that you, Kema, can truly shoulder the glory of the Duke's family."

Old King Caesar is worthy of being the one on the throne. This time, the Set family's "keeping it as it is" is already the best way for Livolden to deal with it.

Although the words said "remain as it is", everyone can see that it is impossible for the Set family to remain as it is, after all, Thunderbolt Sean is dead.

Not punishing the sins of the dead was a favor to Kema, who inherited the position of the head of the family. In exchange for the loyalty of the new generation of the Duke's family at almost zero cost, the old King Caesar was looking to the future and thinking long-term.

After the most critical matter of the Set family was handled in the smoothest manner, the next step was the annual report summary of each major family on their respective territories.

Aisha was not interested in these things at all, so the work naturally had to be done by Alice.

Including because of Aisha's title of Royal Knight, Carlos was promoted to the position of Earl, and Alice was responsible for all the trivial matters such as the expansion of the fiefdom.

I believe that with Alice's ability, these aspects can be achieved perfectly.

As for Aisha herself, she had been dragged by the little princess Nova to the royal family's exclusive card library, which was euphemistically called the Armed Royal Duel Knight card selection.

The blue and white rare cards were neatly arranged and displayed on the walls of the card library, which made You Ling, a card player, feel excited for the first time since he traveled through time.

"Aisha! Can I take your place?"

"I knew that Mr. You Ling couldn't help it. Go ahead, go ahead... After all, Mr. You Ling likes cards more than women."

With the favor from the beautiful hostess, after the Millennium Bricks shone, You Ling successfully exchanged control of his body with Aisha, and was able to touch these rare cards that he had longed for with his own hands.

The rare cards in the royal card library are all tradable cards that have been passed down from generation to generation by the Caesar family and collected in the Elf Continent by relying on power and wealth.

Among them, there are as many as 20 rare A-level spell cards.

Don’t think that having only 20 A-level rare spell cards is too few.

You should know that the conditions for the creation of tradable cards are very harsh.

It's hard to say about other nobles, but the royal family who made the laws of the continent would never touch the rare cards produced in the dark game.

Aside from the Dark Game, which is the biggest source of tradable cards, the only remaining way for tradable cards to be created is Legacy of the Duelist.

The card legacy left by famous duelists in the Elf Continent after their death has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and has built up such a magnificent card library for the royal family. Its precious significance is also extraordinary.

Although the title of Royal Knight did not reward any substantial wealth or gold, in the Elf Continent, tradable rare cards were definitely more precious than gold.

If Aixia sold a few of these A-grade tradable cards, it would be enough for her to live a comfortable life of extravagance and luxury for the rest of her life.

But it is better not to do this unless it is absolutely necessary. If the Royal Knights resell the rare cards of the royal family, it may be very troublesome to deal with if strange rumors spread.

"Nova, can I really take these cards at will?"

You Ling seemed to be in a wonderful card dream, and just to be on the safe side he confirmed with the little princess.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you!"

After saying this, the little princess confidently patted her chest, which was not much better than Aisha's.

"Well, let's start with the general purpose cards."

Not all of the 20 A-level rare cards are general-purpose cards.

For cards like [Butterfly Dagger - Echo] or [Great Cold Wave], You Ling must understand how powerful these banned cards classified as A-level cards are.

But if the effect itself is not suitable for the Aisha deck, even if it is an A-level card, if it is forced in, the effect may not be as good as that of a D-level card.

[Pot of Greed] is a must-have for Yu Ling, but there is no [Bitter Choice] in the deck. So Bitter Choice should be the only card in the Little Princess's deck, or other royal family members also have Bitter Choice in their decks.

"Sure enough, this kind of extremely versatile rare card is in great demand even among the royal family."

Think about it this way, there is still one Greed Pot left in the royal card library, and it is not configured according to the average number of three cards per person, which is considered to be very martial.

There is also an A-level card that You Ling is familiar with and interested in - the magic card [Sudden Mutation].

Last semester, the Magic Club borrowed this royal card and developed a new card printing technology, printing out a series of masked transformation magic for three heroes to use.

Now this original version of "Transformation" is still here. After careful consideration, You Ling thinks that Aisha's deck seems to be able to use it, and if used well, it can produce miraculous effects that no one can imagine.

"Okay, you take it too!"

Continue to add A-level spell cards to the deck. Only card players can fully experience the joy of collecting cards and becoming stronger.

And for every A-level rare spell card added to the deck, a D-level spell card is removed.

For the sake of future victory, You Ling is willing to give up his old friend.

Compared with the number of A-level spell cards, the number of B-level spell cards is much larger.

There are basically one or two classic traps like Magic Cylinder and Holy Defense.

If You Ling wants, he can even use a heavy pit to bring a smile to the opponent.

As for the tradable monster cards themselves, they are a little lacking in meaning.

Most of them are monsters left over from ancient times, such as the [Diamond Dragon]. It looks like a 7-star monster, but its attack power is only 2100 points. You Ling really can't understand the meaning of putting it into the deck.
